Public Co-CEO @leifthunder on UBI: "I think UBI is generally a good concept." "I'd argue that it's not just the ability for you to pay for your living, but it's also about having purpose in society." "Purpose is maybe even more important than just giving everyone money."

PERSONAL UPDATE: After 5+ years, I am leaving @a16z to start a fund! This was the toughest career decision of my life. I learned from the best partners and was privileged to work with incredible founders. So why leave? It is simply time to build. More to come on this.

@leifthunder "So if you have anxiety, everything is red 🚨, everything the advisor will do is basically will be like, okay, here's the context of what it's happening, don't worry about it. And you'll be like, oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. It's fine."

.@leifthunder says Public lets you create custom indexes—including a “deadlift index” so you can invest only in founders who lift: "There's some people who just do funny stuff." "We have a commercial out where it's, 'I want founders who are marathon runners.'"
